Chapter 1182
The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Chapter 1182 Garrett Was Jealous
Ian was unsurprised by Laneyâs choice. He was certain that Laney wouldnât let anyone take his place
just because of his gender. âMrs. Harding, this will be one of your wisest decisions ever,â he said.
Laney couldnât help but smile at Ianâs confidence and replied, âLooks like youâre very sure of yourself.â
âI carefully examined all the information on you when I learnt that I was going to serve as your
assistant,â remarked Ian.
Despite his apparently modest demeanor, Ian couldnât hide the air of self-assurance that came with his
words. âThatâs why Iâm well aware of your allergies and your situation, Mrs. Harding.â
âReally?â Ianâs confidence gave Laney relief and she took a deep breath to relax.
Ian smiled slightly and said, âI believe Iâll be able to serve you well. Of course. Iâm also skilled in taking
care of children.â
Laney, laughed out loud, amused by Ianâs words. The last bit of bias she had towards Ianâs gender
disappeared with his words. âYou are a very interesting person.â Laney couldnât help praising him.
In the past, people also questioned her ability as a bodyguard just because she was a female. In
reality, she was better than her male counterparts in many aspects.
Therefore, as she put herself in his shoes, Laney decided not to dismiss Ian based on his gender.
Meanwhile, while the two were talking, Garrett came in with Laneyâs favorite snack. He exclaimed,
âHoney, look what I brought youâ¦â Before Garrett could finish his sentence, he saw Laney smiling and
talking to a stranger, and his handsome face immediately darkened. He approached Laney while on
high alert and questioned, âWho are you? What are you doing in my wifeâs ward?â
Ian slowly bowed his head in respect and said, âHello, Mr. Mrs. Larson specifically hired for Mrs.
Harding.â
âPersonal assistant? A man?â Garrett looked at Ian in disbelief, scanning him up and down and asked,
âDoes Janet know what sheâs doing?â Laney nudged Garrett with her elbow and chided,
âIan is a very professional personal assistant. I believe he can take good care of me and our baby.â
Garrett felt a bit uneasy, but after seeing Laneyâs satisfied expression, he didnât say much.
Unfortunately, he had to suppress his feelings of annoyance at Janet for hiring such a good-looking
man as Laneyâs personal assistant.
âI assure you, Mr. Harding, that I will lake good care of Mrs. Harding,â Ian said confidently. Noticing
Garrettâs doubt, he added, âI have received professional training and I have plenty of medical
experience. Rest assured, I can provide the best service for Mrs. Harding.â
Although Garrett still had some doubts, he didnât want to say anything more upon seeing Ianâs
professional manner. He simply patted Ianâs shoulder and said, âWell, then, do your job well and take
good care of my wife. Iâll give you an extra bonus if youâre good enough.â
Ianâs expression remained indifferent, showing no signs of happiness at Garrettâs promised bonus.
âMrs. Hardingâs well-being is at the top of my priority. I will work hard to keep her happy,â he said
calmly.
âAnd you donât have to worry about giving me any bonus, Mr. Harding. I was hired by Mrs. Larson to
take care of Mrs. Harding. So, Mrs. Harding is the only person I serve. Thereâs really no need for you to
worry,â added Ian.
Garrett didnât expect Ian to decline him, and he was unable to counter Ianâs explanation since it made
sense.
âIâm Laneyâs husband,â he said, looking somewhat displeased.
He put his arm around Laney s shoulder and declared his possessiveness, âIf you can take good care
of my wife and child, of course, I will thank you generously.â
Ian responded with a smile and said nothing. Laney enjoyed watching Garrett jealous, but she held
back her laughter and said, âAlright, thatâs enough. All that matters is that he takes good care of me
and the baby. Why are you getting so upset?â
Garrett remained silent, snorting coldly in response.
